Not the easiest mod, and there is a chance for brickage or data wipe... Noobs beware...
Needed
Rooted Samsung Fascinate (tested with EB01 superclean 2.4)
Working ADB
Latest Heimdall (the Epic 4g thread warns against odin use, it says he soft bricked with it, and I used Heimdall anyway)
Hacked param.lfs to flash HERE
New jpeg boot logo size 480x800 (preferably less than 64k.. I flashed a 65k one and it booted fine though... just be careful)
Steps:
Enter download mode
Flash hacked param.lfs IN HEIMDALL IN THE BOX THAT SAYS PARAM.LFS, NOT FACTORYFS
Reboot normally, if it boots into recovery just reboot again
Ignore garbled text on bootup
Copy your new bootlogo to /sdcard/logo.jpg
Open ADB shell
Enter these commands:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs
cp /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
Reboot and enjoy!
Notes
Download mode might not show the download mode logo. It doesn't show on mine. Still works though.
In order to flash another logo, you have to re-flash the hacked param.lfs and then copy the new logo.
In order to flash completely back to stock, flash this param.lfs HERE

Hey, without you, I would have no idea what I was doing.
So I can have an apple logo before the bootanimation instead of a Samsung logo now!?!!!!
Jk
Haha
Thanks!

Is this perma-brickable like the SPH-M900, or is it possible to get back into download mode?

It's possible that if you really broke the param.lfs it wouldn't boot into download mode and show the graphic, but it would still be in download mode, just with nothing on the screen.
Has anyone, other than the original poster, have more guts than I do and tried this?
I am itching to do it (I want to piss off my friend by having an Apple logo ), but I am a bit afraid to try it...
I tried it, it worked.

i never had any luck getting it to work with odin (even putting it in the big tarball) ...like kmalinich said i had many soft bricks testing but none of them prevented me from going into download mode...you should be safe so as as you dont mess with the boot loaders but still use caution!
glad to hear u got this working on another phone besides the epic kmalinich...props!

If you flash that in an "PDA" section of Heimdall you will get what I got two hours ago, a serious brick!! You have to look in the Heimdall front end and notice there is a "param.lfs" box that you must flash it from (I assume anyway). Trust me I was dead in the water I had to delete heimdall for Odin to work again.
I think it should be clear in the first post, there are several posts about flashing it in PDA which is incorrect. Or am I wrong here?

In Heimdall, everything except the PIT file is under the PDA/Code heading. I think that's what you're reading. The first flash selection under PDA/Code is FactoryFS...

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!
Follow this to get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.

No one can help you unless you provide enough useful information about what you have done. You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.

That's probably because for recovery you need to hold down the volume down and up buttons and the power button.

Have a nice day
First make sure you're using the latest odin available. Second, a lot of time for me, my phone will only get recognized on certain usb ports on my computer so odin doesn't see it. For example the two top front ports don't recognize it at all. The middle two do. I have an idea of why but haven't bothered to try fixing it. Point is, try every usb port u have. If it still doesn't recognize it, try reinstalling kies and the latest usb drivers for our device. (there are generic usb drivers for it)
We're you using a custom rom before? With which kernel? Odin a custom kernel with recovery, like siyah etc..... Then use 3 button combo to get into recovery

I just use Rom Manager to go into CWM recovery. The post below

said to make sure you root it through CWM. Nope, no life at all. If it was a regular brick then I would of just use Odin and rom it with ICS. But no life.

dude you don't have the same problem as me. First of all, you just need to Odin it with a good PDA. MY phone CANNOT TURN ON, CANNOT GO TO DOWNLOAD MODE. It is done.

U don't use ROM Manager for ANYTHING. Ever. If there is no life at all I don't know what to say on my end. Maybe creepyncrawly will come in and save the day
Edit: also noticed u flashed ICS gapps on a JB ROM.
Where you on the latest OTA update? What version of Clockwork mod were you using?

Don't even use it to boot to recovery. I've softbricked mine once doing that (theres an old thread i started about it around here) and yes all I did was have it reboot to recovery. ROM Manager and the GS2 are not friends at all.

My I777 was on UCLE5 Stock ICS with Root. It does contain the SUPERBRICK BUG however It was working fine. Maybe because when I try to install the new ROM I had to wipe/ factory reset which may cause the EMMC Superbrick bug to activate?

If you were on Stock Kernel, your device is now a paperweight.

*strug* I wanted to update to jellybean and follow instructions. I guess I have to pony up and get a S3 now. =[
If you Odin back to stock gingerbread and still can't boot up, I'd say you're screwed. Good luck, happy flashing.

I know a few things, but I don't know magic.
A few comments though. Hard brick with no signs of life doesn't sound like eMMC damage. You should at least try the following: USB jig to enter download mode --or-- remove battery and leave it out, then with the usb cable plugged in, hold the down volume button to see if it will enter download mode that way.

That's a good idea. If it doesn't work then jtag is your only option (better than getting rid of phone). Mobiletechvideos can do it for you for $50 if you are located in us.
Good luck
Rom manager is a phone bricker... I soft bricked mine with it.. A jig helped me unbrick it. Last brick was kernel flashing...Hard brick. Mine is also dead,not even odin worked... It did manage to go into download mode but then it would not nand write anything... On ebay there is a jtag service for 35$... I will wait to get the sgs3.
